Child Labor in U.S. History

Soure: http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/laborctr/child_labor/about/us_history.html

Forms of American child labor, including indentured servitude and child slavery. As industrialization moved workers from industrial and home workshops into urban areas and factory work, children were often preferred. Factory owners viewed them as more manageable and less pricey. Growing opposition to child labor in the North caused many factories move to the South by 1900. States varied considerably in whether they had children labor standards. In the content of the enforcement. By then, American children worked in large numbers in mines, factories, textiles, agriculture, canneries, home industries, and as newsboys, messengers, bootblacks, and peddlers.

I feel that this is so sad that they slaved young children because they cost less and manageable. This shouldnt be this shouldnt even happen in the first place in U.S. Think that this happen no more in U.S and its over and not legal anymore.
